The tiny twins were born to first-time parents Kasarna and Dash on January 7. The new family has since been bonding in their den, with all of their adorable early life antics caught by the zoo’s CCTV cameras.
Just 350 Sumatran tigers are thought to remain in the wild, making them one of the world’s rarest tiger subspecies. Dave Hall, carnivore team manager at Chester Zoo, said: “We’ve been closely monitoring Kasarna on our CCTV cameras as she get to grips with motherhood and her first litter of cubs – it’s a real privilege and incredibly special to watch."She’s a great mum and is being very attentive to her new infants, keeping them snuggled up in the den and feeding them every few hours.
"One day, the pair will hopefully go on to themselves make a vital contribution to the endangered species breeding programme, which is now playing a critical role in preventing these majestic animals from becoming extinct.”
